- Subject: [tlug] Stonebraker and Seltzer in ACM Queue
I picked up the rag because of the "Linux Security Sins" article (which, as expected sucked as hard as the Great State of Texas[1]). However, the interview of Mike Stonebraker by Margo Seltzer is well worth reading, especially if you have a startup in your future (and don't we all wannabe?) In case you didn't know, Stonebraker originated the Ingres database, one of whose descendents is PostgreSQL, and Seltzer is ex-Sleepycat (founder), now Harvard professor.[2] Not *quite* as heavyweight as a Choi Hon-man vs. Bob "The Beast" Sapp K-1 bout, but the interest ratio is ~MAXINT, and the informativeness comparison is an IEEE 754 NaN. On second thought, I'll reevaluate. This is a must-read. This is probably the best issue of ACM Queue, ever. Definitely the best I've read (despite the horrible "sins" article). Footnotes: [1] Not only did it provide the current incumbent of 1600 Pennsylvania, but it's an article of faith among Coloradans that that's why the prevailing wind blows to the south. [2] There's a very cute, but true, exchange at the end of that interview, too. ;-)
